Yeagley said police will respond to the kidnapping with extra patrols and use the opportunity to educate people on how to stay safe.

He cited CMU programs like Safe Rides and the CMU Police Department's educational promotions on safety.

Ramsey's abduction of the woman was random, Yeagley said.

He indicated to her during the time he held her captive that he had looked at a few others leaving the SAC Wednesday night but said there were too many witnesses in the area, Yeagley said.

Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said during a press conference Thursday morning that there is no doubt in his mind that the woman would be dead had she not jumped from the car.

Saying that the woman was "an emotional wreck," the sheriff said police don't know what possessed Ramsey to kidnap her.

Mioduszewski and Yeagley discussed the incident prior to the press conference Thursday morning, calling the incident a horrific, crazy ordeal.

When Ramsey was killed early Thursday morning by a Crawford County Sheriff's deputy, he was holding something in his hand, and police later found the handgun in the cab of the sanitation truck Ramsey stole in neighboring Otsego County, the sheriff said.
